We will being trying out a new method of stage selection called Full List Stage Striking (FLSS)

Rival Arena is NOT legal because it is known to cause frame drop issues.

How FLSS works: Player/Team 1 (for dispute purposes, P1 is the lower number of the bracket) will "strike" 1 stage. Player/Team 2 will then "strike" 2 stages. Player/Team 1 will "strike" 1 stage. All stages that have been "striked" cannot be played in the set, this leaves 3 stages left, these stages are the only stages playable in the set.

If players cannot agree where to start match 1 out of the 3 stages, Player/Team 2 strikes 1 of the remaining stages, then Player/Team 1 strikes 1 stage, the remaining stage will be played game 1.

The losing Player/Team of round 1 may choose what stage to go to for round 2.

If players agree to a stage before striking and they cannot agree to a stage for game 2/3, striking order is the same but the played stage cannot be "striked".

-A Player/Team coming from the losers bracket in GFs must win 2 sets in order to win the tournament, this is because a Player/Team coming from the winner's bracket has not lost a set while the loser bracket Player/Team is down 1 set.-All players must announce their character before striking game 1.

-Toro's air stall is banned.-Using this technique results in forfeiture of the match.

Match Progression:Loser of round 1 may choose the stage for round 2. Loser of round 2 may choose the stage for round 3.If winner wants to change character, he must announce it before the loser announces their character but after the stage is chosen.*Double Blind: If elected. (Both players must tell a neutral third party their character selections)

When reporting results please include the characters used.

I will have a XAT running and it is where the tournament will be run.

I am the TO, I am here to run the tournament in hopes the players have a fun time and the tournament gets run, don't be uncooperative.

If there are any issues during the tournament, do not hesitate to contact me.

I WILL NOT put you in the bracket unless you post in this thread or show up on the Xat the day of the tournament. I ENCOURAGE people to post their interest in this thread.

Last tournament had no complaints about the rules, so I am happy to finally have a pretty solid rule-set. The reason I am attempting to use FLSS is because it reduces the time in between games for stage selection and it ensures "more fair" stages for a set, allowing each player to eliminate 2 stages they do not want to play while keeping the stage list big and preventing the need for an arbitrary "neutral" list. I REALLY WANT FEEDBACK ON FLSS, POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE!
